Each online session from the bundle can be purchased individually, but if you wish to participate in two sessions from the series you can purchase them at the special early bird price here: 70 USD54 USD.

Important: Those who purchase a seat in advance may be able to pay an "early bird" or cheaper price, while those who confirm participation later or last minute, may likely have to pay a higher fee. In some training sessions a price increase based on the number of registrants may also apply, i.e. the first 15 registered pay one price, the next 10 pay a a slightly higher price etc.

Early payment is advised in order to secure participation and help reach the course minimum participation - unfortunately, courses may occasionally be cancelled or rescheduled, if the confirmed participation in advance is very low.

In the sequel to the webinar on note-taking, attention will be paid to some practical solutions to be applied by interpreters who would like to start using notes or who have been using notes but would like to find out about more effective ways of note-taking. The objective is again to foster the skill and the speed to take notes during a speech to be interpreted consecutively. However, more importantly, the second part will also be focused on some elementary steps so as to help new-comers to this skill to start using notes.

Description
